Boyne Challenge fundraiser kicks off this month

May 04, 2011

BOYNE CITY — The second annual Boyne Challenge event kicks off this month, a fundraiser for the Compassionate Hearts group.

The local event is a combination of the “Amazing Race” and “Minute to Win It” hit game show competitions with about 15 challenges. Proceeds will benefit Compassionate Hearts, a nonprofit group that helps people with emergency needs and children who attend Boyne area schools.

Fifteen businesses in Boyne City will sponsor teams and pay for half the participation fees, along with team T-shirts. Teams must be comprised of four adults who can participate in all events.

The Boyne Challenge begins at 1 p.m. on Saturday, May 21.

Teams must register by May 11 to allow time for T-shirts to be printed. Call (231) 330-3872 for more information.
